Bandicoot Tipoki breaks Irish hearts

BANDICOOT TIPOKI produced a wonderful effort to break Irish hearts at Wimbledon on Saturday night, coming from well off the pace to capture the williamhill.com English Derby, a fifth for his veteran handler Charlie Lister.

The Irish had been expected to take the title with three of the six finalists representing these shores, but luck deserted our team on the night. As expected Toomaline Jack was sent to traps a hot favourite and he looked a likely winner down the back straight when showing big pace to challenge the early leader Lyreen Mover.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be, as Bandicoot Tipoki came storming through late to deny his rivals.
